Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received significant healthcare education with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for problems extending from simple disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the expertise needed to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless problems which the feet frequently experience.
